Beautiful hotel & rooms.

It was a beautiful hotel and the service was excellent. We stayed in a triple room which was unfortunately too small for 3 adults but we only stayed one night so managed.

Suffice to say, if we're looking for somewhere to stay in the area again we won't need to look any further than The Dabbling Duck. We were well looked after from start to finish. Superb accommodation and lovely food - especially the breakfast which was perfect.

Dog friendly in all areas.

Spent two night at the quirky Dabbling Duck, location in a pretty village is ideal for walking and exploring the area by car. The hotel staff are really friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Room was small but there was a mixup at booking so on arrival we had to be allocated a different room as we had a dog. DD is super dog friendly and they are welcomed in all areas. Food is very good with plenty of variety, breakfast is hearty and all dietary requirements are catered for.

Excellent village pub with great staff and atmosphere that matches its surroundings and in keeping with good old inn values. The chef provides a great variety of flavors and quality dishes all served hot and on hot plates. The stairs are somewhat challenging for the elderly and mobility impaired. I didn’t realize when booking that I could have requested a ground floor room. My bad - should have read the small print. Would definitely stay again if in the area.
